The sirens came ten minutes later. Statements were taken, trembling witnesses comforted. But Gao Tu sat in silence, hands clasped so tightly they ached.
He had no idea why armed Alphas would flee at the sight of him.
When he finally looked down, he noticed his suppressant patch had torn away completely. A faint trace of his natural scent lingered in the air light, clean, unmistakably Omega.
And yet the robbers had not reacted to that. They had reacted to him.
That night, back in his apartment, Gao replayed every detail again and again. The glint of recognition in that man's eyes. The words "He's on the list."
He turned on his old, dusty laptop and searched those four words.
"The Wenlang List"
Nothing came up only rumors, fragments of crime forums talking about an underworld leader who marked certain names as untouchable. People said those on the list could walk through fire and come out unscathed.
He stared at the screen until the letters blurred.
Somewhere deep in the locked corridors of memory, a name stirred familiar, forbidden.
A voice, low and commanding, whispering once against his ear: "I'll keep you safe, even from me."
Gao Tu shut the laptop with shaking hands.
The city outside buzzed with neon and sirens. Inside, the only sound was his heartbeat, loud and disbelieving.
Whatever he had run from years ago... it hadn't stopped running after him.
And now, it had found him again.
